River Walk: Spotted Knapweed Pull on Wisconsin Point

The Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve and Friends of the Lake Superior Reserve are hosting a volunteer event focused on removing Spotted Knapweed from the Lot #5 section of Wisconsin Point. We will be hand-pulling Spotted Knapweed to help local plants thrive.

Spotted Knapweed is a prolific non-local plant that, when widespread, can prevent native plants from growing and decrease the biodiversity of the habitat.

On July 19th, community members of all ages are invited to the point to support healthy ecosystems for local, native plants. No prior experience with Spotted Knapweed is required. This event will involve physical activity like walking, crouching, kneeling, and pulling.

This event is part of the River Walks series, happening all summer long. Join us and connect with the natural world in new ways this summer at the River Walks, where we learn about local land and water issues while taking a stroll to different places in the St. Louis River watershed.

Events are free! Come dressed for the weather and prepared to move around outdoors. Questions? Please contact Melissa Burke at TWVsaXNzYSAhIEJ1cmtlIHwgd2lzYyAhIGVkdQ==.
